Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1887-08-03
SEASON OF 1887.

In presenting to farmers my circular this
season. as usual, I do not rely or my own word
that have better results to show than other
fertilizers, but show what farmers who have
| used them have to say. 1t is the talk of the
wheat field" sold last season more fertilizer
than any other season. Farmers must remem-
Der that this prosperity has been built up not
withstanding the attacks of the combined for
ces of fertilizer agents. who have actively mis-
represented my fertilizersand against even the
State Gov of Va. itself which chooses to take
sides with animal matter fertilizers and other
highly ammoniated articles. while late exper-
iments show that ammonia is not valuable as
awlIeat fertilizer, FOR Graham's Fertilizers have
shown on a hundred wheat fields that chem
| lists reports are all bosh as far as results are
1 concerned. In order, however, to cater to the
wishes of those who wish to buy Fertilizers on
chemists reports, and to show that can also
manufacture to run high on chemists lists. 1
have put on the market brand called "Cres-
cent Phosphate" which will run as high on
chemists lists as any other Of like price. This
season, while some ofmy most extensive cp-
! ponents are preparing to decrease their BUSH
ness, will make extensive preparation to
handle larger trade, and request that my pa
irons will hand in their orders TO insure
prompt shipment. call attention to annexed
certificates and ask the plain fair question can
any other fertilizer show as good a record
! This certif1es that used Staunton Fertilizer
last fall $50 lbs to the acre, the result in wheat
was good. an excellent strand of grass, think
as good as see where higher priced were used
